Comments about World Political Map (Earth-toned), Poster Size and Framed:

The frame and the plastic covering are sodisappointing for the price. My order came damaged, the plastic didn't fit in the frame. NG sent a replacement but I wouldn't recommend this framed Map because of the poor quality.

Comments about World Political Map (Earth-toned), Poster Size and Framed:

I hung this framed map in my bedroom. I love looking at maps as I am interested in history and current events and have done some travelling. The map itself is what I wanted but the frame job is not good. The map is covered by plastic, not glass, which maybe is good, less glare and lighter weight. The box arrived damaged and frame slightly dented on one side. I can live with it. If I could order over again, i'd order the map by itself and get it professionally framed.

Bottom LineNo, I would not recommend this to a friend

From National Geographic:Thank you for your feedback. We understand from our phone conversation that you are satisfied with your purchase. We do use plastic instead of glass to cover our framed maps for the very reasons you cited: Plastic is lighter in weight, it reduces glare, and it is safer to ship.

Comments about World Political Map (Earth-toned), Poster Size and Framed:

The good news. The map is beautiful. It does look great on a wall. The bad news is the first map was received damaged. I hung it on the wall before I returned it. The cable broke and it fell to the floor. The second map I received did not have the map mounted properly. The paper was sticking out between the frame and clear plastic.

Comments about World Political Map (Earth-toned), Poster Size and Framed:

I was very impressed with the map. It is used in my home. Like to refer to map when unfamiliar with place mentioned in a discussion or on news. However, I was disappointed it was received damaged. It appeared to have been packed that way. It should have been looked at more carefully before it was packed. The frame itself was a disappointment. It should be tighter at corners and a couple of places where it looks like a sticker was removed and left residue behind. As I said, the map itself is very nice.

From National Geographic:Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts. We regret that this item was received damaged. We understand that our customer service team has already found a solution that works best for you.
